David Murdoch (born April 17, 1978 in Dumfries) is a Scottish curler from Lockerbie.
Murdoch and his team were the 2006 World Curling Champions.
Murdoch is a two time World Junior Curling Champion - in 1995, as an alternate for Tom Brewster, Jr., and in 1996 as a lead for James Dryburgh.
In 1998 he won a silver medal at the World Juniors as a third for Garry MacKay. By 1999, Murdoch had moved up to the position of skip, and led Scotland to a 6-3 record and fifth place at that year's world juniors. Four years later, he led Scotland to the European Championship title, beating Peja Lindholm's formidable Sweden team in the final.
In 2005, Murdoch went to his first ever World Championships. At the 2005 Ford World Men's Curling Championship his Scotland rink won the silver medal after losing to Canada's Randy Ferbey in the final. The team's fine run of form ensured all four members a place in the Great Britain men's squad for the 2006 Winter Olympics, with Murdoch in the position of skip. At the Olympics, Murdoch and his team lost in the bronze medal match to Pete Fenson of the United States. Two months later, Murdoch would avenge his defeat in 2005 by winning the gold medal at the 2006 World Men's Curling Championship. Murdoch defeated Canada (skipped by Jean-Michel Ménard) in the final. In December 2006 he won the silver medal in the 2006 European Championships in Basel, Switzerland, and followed that up with gold in 2007.
Murdoch and his team represented Scotland again at the 2008 World Men's Curling Championship, where he lost to Kevin Martin's Canada in the final 6-3.
David Murdoch current team:
- David Murdoch (skip)
